Inside and outside

How different is the inside feeling of yourself and the outside the other people see.

No boundaries

boundaries are only in my head
countries are only on the map
where's the boundary between a hand and a finger?
where's the boundary between me and the Universe?

Champagne for kids?

Basically, it's just a soft drink. But children copy the adult habits after their parents, and by the time they're teenagers, it's real champagne they drink.

Some manufacturers make 'Beer for kids' and even 'Vodka for kids'. :(

Suicide

When life got really difficult, I would often think about killing myself. Then I came up with an agreement with myself. I told myself:

Let's hang on and see what happens. You can always choose death when things get really tough.

It never got really tough. :)

Worries

Why worry about the past? You can't change it.

Why worry about the future? It hasn't happened yet.

Why worry about the present? It's already happening, and you can change it.

Language doors

Languages are keys opening doors to new worlds.

The more languages you know, the more doors you can open.

Arguments

Arguing adds depth to any relationship. 

You can't call yourselves friends unless you've argued at least once.

Radio

Human body is a radio receiver. It's just an instrument for transmitting the spirit. 

When a radio dies, you don't say that the station signal is dead.

When a person's brain or body dies, why do you say the person is dead?

Good or bad?

A bad actor complains about his role.

A good actor takes any role that's given to him.

Famous people in everyday life

When reading books, I often think, 'Wish I could meet the author in real life! I'd understand their soul perfectly'. 

Would I?

My nasty neighbor could be another Picasso. The blonde at the boutique could be Anna Akhmatova in her early years. The eccentric university professor could make a new Einstein.

Many problems seem justifiable and understandable when I read them in a book, in first person, and I can add my imagination to the author's personality. 

They are much harder to understand when encountering them in real life, with real people, third person. Real life sinks all illusions.


School friends

True school friends for life are rare. 

Schools mix children from different worlds, with different interests, backgrounds and paths. Most of them are bound to go separate ways after finishing school.

Schools could group children by interest/vocation rather than age/location.
